Certain that no man wants a bluestocking for a wife, Miss
Jane Lowndes is careful to wield her books and her
spectacles as weapons against matrimony. Convincing her
ambitious mama that she's content to stay a spinster is
easier said than done, however. It's a good thing Jane is
not above a bit of manufactured scandal if it will keep
her
from the altar, and the argumentative, contrary Lord
Garrett
Upton…

ROMANCE IS NEVER BY THE BOOK

With the war over, Garrett is determined to enjoy his
bachelor's life while he can, even when it means attending
a
house party in celebration of a friend's wedding--and
suffering Jane's notorious disdain. But when a masquerade
ball leads to a mistaken kiss, he's surprised to learn
that
Jane's bookish exterior hides a truly passionate soul.
When
two such headstrong people are determined to remain
unattached, can love lead to a happy ending?
